Storyline is an easy tool to learn and is ideal for incorporating simulations, scenarios, videos, interactivities and other instructional elements in your course.

Interactivities

Articulate Storyline gives great deal of freedom, when it comes to creating interactivities. It has inbuilt templates, which allow you to develop interactivities for your eLeanring course. Gone are the days when interactivities could be designed only by programmers. Storyline lets you do the same without any kind of coding. It provides options to quickly convert PowerPoint presentations into interactive online courses, thus saving a lot of time and effort.

Characters

Where do i find a relevant image or character with the expressions I actually want? This is a question that always troubles an instructional designer.I had to refer to Google images for ideas or buy images online that suit my needs, while burning a hole in my pocket. Storyline gave me a solution for this problem as it comes with in-built characters with various expressions, poses, and styles.

Storyline comes with an interface that bears uncanny resemblance to that of MS-PowerPoint. This made me very comfortable using the tool. This simple interface makes you feel at home when you use this software.
